Last Spring, he came back to the United States on his “reemploy ment leave,” as these long vaca tions at home are called, and vis ited in Southern Pines. Following their next two-year stint in Japan, Mr. and Mrs. Hurd hope to take their leave to gether, then maybe apply for a transfer to similar jobs with the Exchange Service in Europe or England. Slower Pace The pace of living is slower in Japan. After their first exasper ation, Americans grow to con form with this pace, too, Mrs. Hurd notes. “You can’t hurry the Japan ese, so why hurry yourself?” she said this week while talking about her life abroad and con trasting it with life in the United States. “They use a lot of hand labor; because machines would throw people out of work. I rem ember hearing about One 25-mile road improvement project that was scheduled for completion in eight years. “I love to shop and find the lit tle stores, each specializing in one type Of goods, fascinating— but you can’t shop quickly. Each little shop has its own distinctive jgaily-colored wrapping paper and when you buy something it is slowly and carefully wrapped, not only with a fancy bov/, but with a little loop to carry the package. Spotless Houses Mr. and Mrs. Hurd rent the second floor of a 'Westem-style color — something that adds to the drabness of the Japanese landscape, but which also brings out the beauty of the Japanese Spring when the flowering trees show up more brightly against this background. I know one American who is so worried about all the things that need painting that he said if he had a million dollars he would spend it all painting everything in sight.” Junk and Nice Things Shoppers in Japan have their choice of “a lot of junk and a lot of nice things.” Among the best of the things, when bought with discrimination, are brass, wood block prints, linens, jewel ry and silverware, Mrs. Hurd said. Having been to Japan and re turned and now ready to leave again, the former Southern Pines resident is sure of one thing: it was a lucky day, more than three years ago, as she was working as a secretary in the Burlington Mills office at Greensboro, when a friend told her about the Ex change Service and suggested she apply for a job with it. Three months later she was in Japan, enjoying a new world and a new life—and, she said this week, she expects to go right on enjoying it as long as she can. , Mrs. Nancye McClellan Named To Committee Mrs. Nancye McClellan of the Sandhills Business and Profes sional Women’s Club has been named to serve on a cotnmittee to select a project for BPW Clubs of the State.
